WESTPORT — On May 23, the Westport High boys tennis team played a doubleheader with Sacred Heart at the Middle School in Westport, posting a pair of 5-0 wins to finish the season with a perfect 19-0 record.

In the opener, Nick Rosa defeated Cam Keough at first singles in dominating fashion, winning it 9-0. Dalton Bryant beat Muyang Gin by a score of 9-4 at second singles, and WHS was given the point for third singles because the Fighting Saints did not have enough players.

In doubles play, Scott Raudonaitis and Alex Machairas won the first doubles point with a 9-1 win. Steve Hartnet and Rob Shaw defeated Connor Greeley and Griffin Wagoner in a terrific second doubles match by the score of 9-5.

In the second match of the doubleheader, Chris Hartnett played at first singles, beating Keough 9-3. At second singles, Bryant defeated Gin by the score of 9-3, and Westport again got the third point by default.

At first doubles, Tom Yeargin and Rich Hartnett won the match, 9-1. On the second doubles court, Steve Hartnett and Shane Lees defeated Wagoner and Greeley 9-0 to complete the sweep.

On May 21, the Wildcats traveled to West Bridgewater for another Mayflower League match, and came home with a 5-0 victory. Rosa won his first singles match 9-2, Rich Hartnett defeated Kyle Duffy 9-1 on the second court, and Raudonaitis beat Steve Redington 9-3 to make it a singles sweep.

At first doubles, Bryant and Machairas defeated Reed Crawley and Sean Cartright by the score of 9-2; Shayne Lees and Rob Shaw took the second doubles point with a 9-5 win.

On Monday, May 20, the Wildcats traveled to Fairhaven to face the Blue Devils of the South Coast Conference, coming home with a 4-1 win.

Nick Rosa opened with a victory over Anthony Joseph in two sets, 6-2, 6-1. Coach Tom Clark said Rosa played very well in an extremely competitive match. Chris Hartnett recovered from a 6-2 loss in the opening match to defeat Adam Lima 7-5, 6-3 in the final two sets. George Machairas defeated Alex Leite in another tough contest, 6-2, 7-6 (8-6), the coach reported.

Rich Hartnett and Lyle Rosa beat Julian Conte and Dan McLaughlin in straight sets (6-4, 6-0) for the first doubles point. In the second doubles match, Jackson Olivia and Teddie Brumetto defeated Scott Raudonaitis and Tom Yeargin by scores of 6-3, 6-4 for Fairhaven's only point.
